Tickets are on sale for Bach’s marvellous St John Passion, which we will perform in Tewkesbury Abbey on Saturday 6th April.

Our rehearsals for JS Bach’s marvellous St John Passion, sung in German, commence on Tuesday 8th January with a Welcome Rehearsal and we would be delighted to see you there if you think you might wish to join the choir. We look forward to our concert in Tewkesbury Abbey on Saturday 6th April.
